Abstract: To provide a pitch waveform signal division device and the like for making it possible to compress a data capacity of data representing a sound efficiently. A computer C1 arranges time lengths of sections for a unit pitch of sound data, which the computer C1 compresses, to be identical to thereby generate a pitch waveform signal, detects a boundary of adjacent phonemes included in a sound represented by the pitch waveform signal and an end of this sound on the basis of intensity of a difference between two sections for adjacent unit pitches of this pitch waveform signal, divides the pitch waveform signal in the detected boundary and end, and outputs obtained data as phoneme data. <IMAGE>

Abstract: In a packet-based data transmission including incremental redundancy (IR) protocols, the memory consumption of the IR protocol is reduced by compressing and storing failed data units in their punctured format. The failed data units are compressed using low complexity compression/decompression algorithms. The compression algorithm includes two parts: calculating and storing a scale factor for each transmission burst that estimates the soft values in the burst, and storing each soft values' sign in local memory instead of the complete soft value. If the currently received data unit is a retransmission, its compressed versions in the punctured format stored in the IR memory are decompressed, de-punctured and combined with the currently received data unit. The combined data unit is then decoded. The decompression restores an estimated soft-value by multiplying the sign value stored in the IR memory with its corresponding scale factor obtained from a mapping table.

Abstract: Procédé mis en oeuvre dans un téléviseur ou boîtier de décodage (1) dans le but de permettre à un spectateur d'assister à un programme vidéo ou audio avant l'achèvement d'un processus d'amorçage de logiciels de système de haut niveau (2). Ce procédé consiste à contrôler le téléviseur ou boîtier de décodage (1) en vue de détecter l'instant d'activation du téléviseur ou boîtier de décodage (1) par l'utilisateur ; à extraire des métadonnées d'une mémoire (20) du téléviseur ou boîtier de décodage (1) lors de l'activation du téléviseur ou boîtier de décodage (1) ; et à exploiter ces métadonnées afin de présenter à l'utilisateur un ou plusieurs flux vidéo/audio élémentaires à un instant qui précède l'achèvement dudit processus d'amorçage de logiciels de haut niveau (2). De cette façon, le spectateur peut regarder une programmation audio/vidéo sensiblement dès le moment d'allumage (« power on » ) (peu après l'achèvement d'un processus interne d'amorçage de pilotes), et n'a plus à subir la période plus longue d'attente de l'arrivée à l'état opérationnel du logiciel système de haut niveau. Par conséquent, la présentation au spectateur de la programmation audio/vidéo peu après l'achèvement du processus interne d'amorçage de pilotes permet d'éliminer le désagrément et la frustration occasionnés chez le spectateur par le fait d'être obligé de patienter sans accès à la programmation audio/vidéo pendant la période plus longue d'attente de l'arrivée à l'état opérationnel du logiciel système de haut niveau.

Abstract: [PROBLEMS] A vehicle-mounted SCR device in which the concentration of a reducing agent, a reducing agent contained in its precursor, or a precursor is detected accurately. [MEANS FOR SOLVING PROBLEMS] When the concentration is detected, it is judged whether urine water stored in a storage tank is in stationary state or not, and the concentration is detected only when it is in stationary state. Preferably, the judgment whether urine water is in stationary state or not is made by judging that a vehicule stops (S207) and the time TIM after the stoppage has reached a specified rest time TIM1 (S211). The decceleration DCL of the vehicle before the stoppage is detected and the rest time TIM1 is altered depending on the deceleration DCL (S206).

Abstract: The subject invention relates to a multiple-allelic RT-real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay for coronaviruses including the SARS virus. Multiple target sequences within the SARS-CoV, S, E, M and N genes are identified. The use of the four different targets enhances the likelihood that the fundamental genetic drift of the virus will not lead to a false negative result. Multiplex assays format for the assay are envisioned. Thus, the present invention allows for early diagnosis of a SARS infection. The assay would be useful in the context of monitoring treatment regimens, screening potential anti SARS agents, and similar applications requiring qualitative and quantitative determinations.

Abstract: This invention is to provide a semiconductor laser device with a small interval between light emitting points of laser lights and a method of manufacturing the same. A first light emitting element 1a having a semiconductor substrate 12a and a laser oscillation section 10a, and a second light emitting element 2a having a laser oscillation section 4a, are brought together with a ridged waveguide 8 of the laser oscillation section 10a facing the ridged waveguide 5 of the laser oscillation section 4a, and then bonded together by virtue of SOGs 3a having a small thickness. A conductive wiring layer Qa1 electrically connected with an ohmic electrode layer 9a on the ridged waveguide 8a, and a wiring layer Qa2 electrically connected with an ohmic electrode layer 6a on the ridged waveguide 5a, are arranged to extend until the insulating layer 11a on the semiconductor substrate 12a. Further, the ohmic electrodes Pa1 and Pa2 are formed on the bottom surface of the semiconductor substrate 12a and the top surface of the laser oscillation section 4a, respectively. In this way, when a drive current is supplied between the ohmic electrode Pa1 and the wiring layer Qa1, the laser oscillation section 10a will emit a light. On the other hand, when a drive current is supplied between the ohmic electrode Pa2 and the wiring layer Qa2, the laser oscillation section 4a will emit a light. In this manner, since the laser oscillation sections 4a and 10a are bonded together by virtue of SOGs 3a having a small thickness, it is allowed to form a semiconductor laser device with a small interval between light emitting points.

Abstract: A DC-DC converter includes a regeneration preventing circuit (2) to bring a synchronous rectifying switching element (Q2) to an OFF-state when an output of an error amplifier (IC1) is lower than a lower-limit potential (va) of a triangular-wave signal, that is, when the output of the error amplifier (IC1) deviates from a voltage range of the triangular-wave signal in a side of a smaller ON duty ratio of a main switching element (Q1). This configuration prevents a rise of voltage in an input side due to a regenerative operation at startup when a pre-bias voltage exists. Also, the configuration prevents fluctuations of an output voltage at sudden change of a load current and a drop of the output voltage at transition from a soft start state to a normal operation state when the load current is small.
